why even care what others will say about your decision? so what if they get upset? it's you that's gonna get screwed in the end, if you listen to everyone. if you wanna join the military, go ahead dude. what's stopping you? you're job??? **** that! you said yourself you don't enjoi being there. and you also said you want to get a diploma but you don't have time for school and shit, join the military, supposedly they pay for schooling, and they bring the teacher to you instead of you going to the school to listen to the professors. your son, he's gonna be telling people his dad is in the military. that's something he'll be proud of. now the only catch is that you're probably thinking the military is gonna hand you everything you dreamed of. think again buddy. you gotz to work your ass off to get the goods. you can't just go there for 4 years and then think, okay i'm out, i've seen the world, i've done all i can, now give me a job. it ain't that easy, you gots to get merits and earn respect. i know a handful of people that got out after 4 years and they're still jobless, that's cuz they're lazy like they were when they got in. if you're motivated, you should do well. unless you're the only one babysitting your child, they let you live on the base with family. nothing to worry about. you're just afraid of taking risks. have some faith in yourself, or at least believe in something.
